Have you read Mark Kurlansky's book "Salt: A World History"?

Amazing how we take many things for granted today.

Have you read Mark Kurlansky's book "Salt: A World History"?

I read it as well as Kurlansky's book on Cod and have his book on the Basques in my TO READ pile. He's got another out on Oysters that I'll get to eventualy.

"Salt" was very informative but, in my judgement, way too long. He could have cut out at least 100 pages, or rather his editor SHOULD have cut at least 100 pages and maybe 200 from "Salt".
